Pak vs Bangladesh: Abdur Rehman stopped from bowling
DHAKA: Pakistani spinner Abdur Rehman was stopped from bowling during Pakistan’s Asia Cup match against Bangladesh for bowling three consecutive ‘beamers.’

The Pakistani spinner came to bowl in the 11th over of the match and delivered three consecutive no-balls which were higher than the batsmen waist. The umpire stopped Rehman from bowling the rest of his over.

Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and decided to bat in a must-win Asia Cup match. Behind brilliant batting Bangladesh set a 327 run target for Pakistan.

Pakistan were able to chase down the target behind brilliant innings from Shahid Afridi, Fawad Alam and Ahmed Shahzad to secure their place in the final.
